This event will take stock of the current threat landscape & dive into strategies for defense and risk mitigation.
Session Details
As cyber threats continue to evolve, it’s imperative to stay (at least) one step ahead of the attackers. Designed exclusively for security specialists in the financial services industry, this event explores the latest advances, challenges, and best practices for securing financial institutions and banking firms.
Topics include zero trust security, threat intelligence, risk management, data security, secure cloud computing, compliance, identity management, and emerging technologies shaping the future of cybersecurity.
Panel Discussion | Implementing Zero Trust: Lessons Learned
Financial firms were among the first to implement zero-trust security (even before NIST defined the architecture). But the road to zero-trust wasn’t smooth; many firms encountered rocks and potholes. This panel session focuses on how to streamline your zero trust path, regardless of where you are in the journey. We highlight technologies and practices that provided us with measurable benefits, and shine a spotlight on some of the challenges (and how to overcome them).
